Early: when game is similar to vanilla. Late: when game is similar to creative. Mid: everything in between.

There are many options now to get more than two dusts per ore. Even TE and EnderIO machines gives you a little extra. And Thaumcraft smelts stuff completely for free and even gives you exp. TiCo smeltery can be built early (or you can even find it in a village), but is not very effective and...

There is not much options of what to do in endgame. 1. Pursue exponential growth of quarrying/energy speed. 2. Concentrate on another mod while enjoying semi-creative power you accumulated. 3. Play another modpack. FTB severely lacks interesting endgame objectives.

I recommend FTBLite2 modpack. It has not much stuff, so it's easier to not get overwhelmed. You start playing modded minecraft more or less as vanilla, but you have more ways to automate things. Also, there are machines to get more than one ingots from single ore, making them should be one of...

Well, you know how it happens, you need gold for that autocrafting machine (and a lot of other things) or generator array, but while you quarry for it you get lots of stuff you don't need right now but don't have the heart to throw away.

So, to underline - recipe for cheap ME network is using cheap storage cells (mostly 1k).

Using cells bigger than 1k seems to be counter-productive unless you really have thousands of stack of some particular stuff.

Speaking of that, is it possible to balance ME net so things that are plenty are kept in big storage cells and things that are are scarce in 1k cells?

Biggest limiting factor for internal storage seems to be number of types of items. So, Chests and Filing Cabinets can be used to hold junk that you have a few of each. ...or you can just have a lot of 1k storages.

No, they are quite cheap. Especially considering that each can expose a double chest to network.

I added AE to my Lite2 recently, so no reserves of Certus. Except those that I cheat in:) I think I should put some quarries in new chunks... Anyway, my AE works nice now with just chests and filing cabinets.

Even high instability infusion can be reliably done if you have some extra required items and replace them as soon as they are destroyed/knocked down. Anyone knows how far stability+boosting items works and from how far distance altar can suck essentia?

What kills CPU less, LP or AE?

Sorry for offtopic, but is ATG worth using now? Last time I tried, it was making everything a 45 degree slope, which made travelling or farming a pain. Was it fixed?

What about Storage Bus? Can I use ordinary chests with Storage Bus as a replacement for storage cells? I just want to be able to access and craft stuff from single point.

Those storage cells in AE cost hand and leg. Is there a good way to save on them?

"Humongous craft". Tech mod, where everything is huge and multiblock for that industrial feeling. So you have your house inside your machines, not other way around. Like Railcraft tanks and TiCo smelteries, but even bigger. Even pipes for liquids should be multiblock structures with diameter of...

Jabba is OK, but upgrades system is bothersome. I can't just craft a stack of megabarrels and plop them where I need them and as much as I need, I have to craft several types of upgrades that stack only by 16 and add them one by one. Not TOO hard, but makes me squint each time I had to do...

The way enchantment works, you can have to do a dozen rituals to get one pickaxe for the arcane bore.

MFR Bioreactor+generator seems to be super effective you you bother to run it at maximum effectivity (not too hard to do).
